Chapter 62 The Human Skin (1/2)
Chapter 62 The Human Skin
Feng Chunsheng told me to turn to Liu the Sixth.
Liu the Sixth was also a respected figure in the banks of Minnan, and Chen Yuhao might help us for his sake.
Humph.
I shook my head, just because I had heard ‘never lose your courage when you are poor’ from my master when I was a child.
Chen Yuhao was really stronger than me. Well, I just made the bet because I didn’t want to ask for help from him.
But now.
I bet with him at the risk of my shop being smashed.
I was in deep mediation.
The hour was almost up.
Now Chen Yuhao was moving the figure of the Buddha in the incense room of my shop… But how could it be broken, since it was left by my master?
I smacked the table and shouted at Chen Yuhao: “Put it down.”
“Time’s up,” he sneered
“I have the plan already.” I stared at him.
Chun Yuhao held up his right hand: “Show me.”
“No need to be like that.” I pointed at him and said: “Would you like me to change it with a human skin pattern?”
“A human skin pattern?”
It seemed he had never heard of it. Of course he hadn’t.
Honestly, I created this pattern by myself… how could I describe it? It was just a visual tattoo.
There was once a girl. She was young and ignorant and she had made an eye tattoo on the back of her hand.
But her major was medical science and no hospital accepted her.
She managed to get hired as a pediatrician in a hospital with the help of her parents, but she was soon taken away by the director because of her tattoo.
The tattoo was actually a kind of typical art, but it was still not accepted.
She was totally rejected by organizations such as government institutions, hospitals, schools, et cetera.
That girl cried in my shop for a long time and asked me if I could help her remove that tattoo.
It was possible to remove the tattoo, but there might be some terrible scars.
I told her about the scars.
She just told me she would rather keep the scars than the tattoo. I could see her tears as she cried and talked.
Actually, I thought her hands were the most beautiful ones I had ever seen. They were as clean as crystals and each finger was very slender. There was no dead skin and the skin was covered with a layer of white fog. What nice hands.
The tattoo on her hand was the Eye of Buddha.
The eye were smiling, but there was a teardrop in its corner.
It was the eye of Buddha, who was so compassionate, with hope to the future. He was crying and smiling.
It was rare to have such a tattoo of the Eye of Buddha.
I asked that girl who gave her the tattoo.
She told me it was made by Kitajima Yuanxiao when she went to Japan.
At that time, I felt a little sad to remove this tattoo since Kitajima Yuanxiao was a very famous tattooist. His tattoos had a close relationship with Buddha, but he stopped doing them recently.
I didn’t want to destroy her hands, nor did I want to destroy that precious tattoo.
Finally, I had an idea.
It was the “human skin” created by me.
I mixed the dyes into a human skin color then put this tattoo on top of the eye, which meant that I would put another tattoo on her hand.
It was rather complicated to make this tattoo. I needed to make it needle by needle by myself, which was rather difficult.
It took me a whole week to complete a small part of the human skin tattoo to cover the back of her hand.
There was still some chromatic aberration between the human skin tattoo and the real human skin when I finally finished it, but they were almost the same when I applied some concealer powder.
Now there was no scar, and the tattoo by Kitajima Yuanxiao wasn’t destroyed.
That girl was so excited she invited me for a meal.
At the time, I thought of making this human skin tattoo my signature offer, but I gave it up since it was rather difficult to do with lower prices. It was not easy to make it into a commodity.
So I almost forgot about this tattoo.
Now I had the same idea to change the pattern for Chen Yuhao.
I told Chen Yuhao: “I could make a human skin tattoo and cover the ‘nine dragons pulling the coffin’ on your back… and then put the Yi Ji tattoo on top of that.”
“Can you make a human skin tattoo?” Chen Yuhao sneered agan.
I smiled and said: “Just let me try.”
“How?” he asked me.
I went inside the room and prepared the pigment.
